We talked to few experts who said

you don't have to be a pro to capture great video

with your smartphone camera.

Smartphones need a lot of light for video to look good.

So shooting outside during the day is probably fine.

But if you're inside, you'll need to look for a big window

to light your subject.

To keep the phone steady, hold it close to your body.

You'll want to twist at your waist

to pan and follow the action.

With most smartphones, zooming digitally crops the picture.

And that reduces the quality of the image.

Instead, zoom with your feet.

There's only so much you can do about sound with a smartphone.

If the audio is important, get as close to your subject

as possible.

And your video will be better than your friends' by keeping

the camera eye level with your subject.

3 Ways to Personalize a Mother's Day Succulent Gift - HGTV Handmade - Duration: 4:39.

Hi guys, so it can be really tough to come up with a Mother's Day gift that's not

totally boring, totally generic.

Really, how many framed photos of you and your siblings does one mom need?

Ok, that actually is what my mom asks for every year, but this year I'm gonna switch

it up a little.

Today I'm going to show you three easy ways to personalize a potted plant for Mother's

Day.

We are going to be decorating a flowerpot, we will be making a miniature envelope card,

and we will be making a personalized plant care card.

Let's get started.

Honestly, there are infinite ways to decorate a flowerpot, but the one I'm going to show

you today is super simple.

Begin by painting the flowerpot white, and I did two coats of paint so that it was really

opaque.

Once it's dry, use a miniature heart stamp and an ink pad to stamp little hearts all

around the rim of the flowerpot.

You don't need any artistic skill for this, and it literally takes like 2 minutes.

Then, cut a piece of twine to fit around the flowerpot three times, wrap it around, and

tie it in a bow.

I also used a bit of hot glue to keep it in place so it wouldn't fall down.

And that is it.

Now you've got a Pinterest perfect flowerpot that took less than 10 minutes to decorate.

Buy some succulents or flowers, plant them in your flowerpot, and you've got a solid

Mother's Day gift.

To make a mini envelope card to plant in the flowerpot, cut a strip of cardstock that measures

2 and a half inches wide.

Then, score the cardstock at these increments.

Once you've done that, mark the center of the paper on both ends.

And then cut a triangle on both ends so you end up with a shape that looks like this.

Now fold your paper accordion style until you get to the last triangle, and wrap that

around to the front so it looks like a teeny tiny envelope.

Write your message inside on the parts of the paper that will be hidden when you fold

it up.

Then fold it up and add some washi tape to keep it closed.

Add more washi tape around all the edges.

When you get to the bottom edge, be sure to leave a small gap in the tape.

Then, grab some mini stamps and make sure your mom knows that this awesome present is

from you.

Once your little envelope card is finished, grab a wooden skewer or a thin dowel and insert

it into the bottom of the card so that you'll be able to stick it into the flowerpot.

And finally - this part is so easy.

Print out two flower shapes - one with a family photo, mine is actually of Marianne's family,

and one with care instructions for the plants.

You'll want to print these onto cardstock so they have some weight to them, and carefully

cut them out.

Now grab another wooden skewer and hot glue it onto the back of one of the flowers.

Glue the second flower right on top, and then add a bit more glue to keep the petals together.

If you think your mom will be keeping this in the plant when she goes to water it, you

can also laminate the paper with packing tape.

And that will make it waterproof so that the ink won't run.

And, that's it.

You can stick the instructions and the envelope card into the plant and now you have got a

personalized Mother's Day gift for mom that I'm sure she will love.

So I would love to know in a comment right down below - what are you giving your mom

for Mother's Day?

My mom actually lives on the other side of the country, so I will be keeping this cute

little potted plant for myself - sorry mom, I'll make you something else.

But be sure to like this video if you liked it, subscribe if you want even more DIY videos,

and I'll see you guys next time.

Beyond Today -- Shocking Teachings of Jesus: The Sabbath - Duration: 28:27.

[Steve Myers] Did you know that Christianity is the largest religion in the world?

There are 2.2 billion people who claim to be Christian.

That's over 3 out of 10 people all over the world.

All of them believe that Jesus is the Founder of their church.

Yet, you've probably wondered why there are so many variations and very different

teachings.

Is there anything you can do to help wade through the swamp of fact and fallacy, truth

or mere tradition that makes up modern Christianity?

Do most churches really follow Jesus?

How can you know whether the variety of teachings and customs faithfully represent the way Jesus

taught and lived?

Well here's the key question: What did Jesus really teach?

On Beyond Today I'll examine a shocking teaching of Jesus that surprisingly, most

Christians don't understand.

Stayed tuned to Beyond Today as we discuss "Shocking Teachings of Jesus—The Sabbath".

[Announcer] Join our host Steve Myers and his guests as they help you understand your

future on Beyond Today!

[Steve] There are so many different Christian churches today.

But rather than unity, harmony, and cooperation, many are known for their disputes and divisions.

Have you ever wondered why there are sometimes four different churches on the same street?

Even when churches appear to get along, they divide into hundreds of different groups,

churches, and denominations.

Why can't they agree on much of anything?

Well here's what it comes down to: many claim to follow the religion of Christianity,

and yet they possess only a weak understanding of what Jesus actually taught.

Well, is there a difference between what Christians believe and what the Bible teaches?

Thomas Jefferson, an American founding father, the principal author of the Declaration of

Independence and third President said, "The greatest enemies of Jesus are the doctrines

and creeds of the church."

Could that be true?

How can there be a difference between the teachings of Jesus and Christianity?

After all, is it possible to go to church and not really be following Jesus?

For that matter, is any church just as good as another?

Let me be clear:

There is a difference between Jesus' teachings and the majority of Christianity.

It is possible to go to church and not really be following Jesus.

And no, any church is not just as good as another!

So what's the difference?

Here's the key: Jesus taught people they must follow Him.

He didn't say it three or four times, but over and over, in fact almost two dozen times

the Bible records Him talking about people following Him.

Now it may be shocking to hear, but most churches do not follow Jesus.

Christ Himself said: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom

of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21).

So how can you be sure you don't fall into that category?

We have to stop following selfish desires, or our friends, or pop culture or even our

family and do more.

Even more than just saying the catchphrase: "I've taken Jesus into my heart."

You see, to truly follow Christ, it means He's become everything to us.

We learn exactly what He taught—and we do it.

In fact, to truly follow means we don't follow anything else.

In Luke 9:23 Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and

take up their cross daily and follow me."

So, if we claim to be Christian, we imitate Christ precisely, because there is no such

thing as a halfway, part time disciple.

Now that brings us back to the question: Am I really following Christ?

Do I truly follow what He taught?

We're going to examine a shocking teaching of Jesus to help you analyze your own relationship

with Him.

Because if we claim to be Christian and we are true followers of Jesus Christ, it also

means we strive to be like Him.

He always obeyed His Father, so that's what we do.

It means I've made Him my Master, the Boss, the Lord of my life.

So each and every thought and decision is filtered through His Word and His way.

I must do what He said, exactly what He taught.

Now if we are going to do just that, we must apply the instruction of 1 John 2.

In verse 4 we're told "If someone claims, 'I know God,' but [he] doesn't obey

God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.

But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him.

That's how we know we are living in Him.

Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did" (1 John 2:4-6

NLT).

You see, knowing and following what Jesus really taught is crucial.

No one wants to be identified as a liar.

True followers of Christ are showing God they completely love Him by walking as He walked—living

in the same way as He lived.

Now, when churches don't follow His example and teachings, what can we assume?

Well, we'd have to conclude that they are not following Jesus!

So how can you avoid that frightful outcome?

How can you live in the truth and know how to follow Christ properly?

The only way to truly know is to read your Bible.

Learn God's Word and decide for yourself—and do it.

Don't let anyone else tell you what to believe, be sure you read it for yourself.

You see, a person who calls themselves a Christian, yet does not obey the Bible is not Christian

at all.

Now let me say that again: if someone says they're Christian and doesn't obey the

Word of God—they're not really a Christian.

The Bible—it is the textbook for students of Christ.

The apostle Paul was guided to tell us that "All Scripture is inspired by God and is

useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction

for right living, so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to

do every kind of good deed (2 Timothy 3:16-17, GNT).

Clearly, the Word of God must govern our life if we are truly His.

With that in mind, let's examine a shocking teaching of Jesus.

How well do we follow Christ when it comes to worship?

Did you know that you cannot find anywhere in the Bible that Sunday is the day of worship?

Search the Old and even the New Testament and you'll find the biblical Sabbath is

not Sunday.

History and Scripture show that the New Testament Church worshiped on the true Sabbath—Friday

sunset to Saturday sunset.

Shocking as it may be, most are surprised to realize there is no other day of worship

mentioned from Genesis to Revelation.

The Christian Sabbath, remembered from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, is what Jesus observed

and taught.

Now it may astonish some to realize that this is exactly what He boldly said in Mark 2:27,

"The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

Therefore, the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27-28).

Now notice that other translations make it completely clear:

Disciples' Literal New Testament says: "The Sabbath was made for the sake of mankind."

The New Revised Standard Version says: "The Sabbath was made for humankind."

Lexham English Bible says: "The Sabbath was established for people."

Even the Good News Translation states: "The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings."

Now can it be any more clear cut?

It's certain that Jesus taught that the Sabbath was not made for the Jews.

Jesus didn't observe the Sabbath only because He was a Jew.

Instead, we find the irrefutable truth that the Sabbath was created for everyone—all

mankind—all peoples.

It's not an Old Covenant thing made just for Moses and the Israelites—it's actually

a New Covenant thing—established at creation and continuing as true worship in the New

Testament Church.

So please, be honest with yourself and read your Bible.

You'll find the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week.

Not even once do you see Sunday, the first day of the week, referred to as a Sabbath

day of rest.

The Bible doesn't ever declare that Sunday should be some kind of Sabbath.

The Sabbath day is mentioned right from the beginning of Genesis and then again in the

Fourth Commandment (Exodus 20:8-11).

The Bible tells us that God set the seventh day apart at creation.

So Scripture consistently tells the same story of true worship.

Even after the crucifixion the apostles and the New Testament Church continued to observe

the seventh-day Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset as the day of true worship.

Now here's another shocker.

If you were to read about this in the Catholic Encyclopedia it will tell you that Jesus and

His disciples always observed the seventh-day Sabbath, but the Catholic Church had the right

to change the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday.

Now some even brag about the reason Protestants observe Sunday—is because they follow the

Catholic tradition and not the Bible!

So who do you follow?

A church or Christ?

Who should you follow?

Jesus said, "...the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.

Everyone on the side of [the] truth listens to me" (John 18:37, NIV).

Listen to the Savior.

Choose to side with the truth.

Determine to follow and live the truth.

The fact is, religion doesn't always go along with the Bible.

It's irrefutable.

Scripture says that "in the last times some in the church will turn away from Christ and

become eager followers of teachers with devil-inspired ideas" (1 Timothy 4:1-2, TLB).

Nowhere in the Bible can you find the Sabbath changed to some other day.

Imagine if it were changed, there would have been a huge discussion on it, and recorded

for us—especially in the New Testament.

But most people, including professing Christians, are blinded to this shocking Bible truth.

It may also be shocking to recognize the second part of Jesus' statement.

Not only did He say that the Sabbath was a day of worship created for all mankind—for

each of us, He also stated in Mark 2:28: "Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath."

Now think about that stunning statement!

Jesus is not Lord of Sunday.

He is Lord of the Sabbath.

Now there are multitudes who have been told and who honestly believe, that worshipping

on the seventh-day Sabbath was abolished at the cross.

They believe that the Sabbath was somehow changed so that now the first day of the week—the

day we call Sunday somehow became the Lord's day.

Well, can that be true?

Should you observe the Sabbath—from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset or worship on Sunday?

Well consider what was taught by Jesus and the New Testament Church.

Remember that the teachings of Christ and the Bible must support and guide everything

we do.

We follow Jesus.

If the Word of God reveals that I am worshipping on the wrong day, then shouldn't I be perfectly

willing to change?

What would a true follower do?

Now, there are, of course, some who say it doesn't make any difference which day you

keep, so as long as you keep one day in seven.

But wait, does it make a difference?

Is any day acceptable to God?

Well let's look back to the Book, back to the Bible and see what we discover.

We already read Mark 2:28, but there's more!

Here is another crystal-clear statement by Christ: "For the Son of man is Lord even

of the Sabbath day" (Matthew 12:8).

There are many more unmistakable passages about the true day of worship.

God spoke through the prophet Isaiah about the Sabbath and plainly calls it "My holy

day" and "The holy day of the Lord" (Isaiah 58:13).

And nowhere in Scripture does He designate another other day as His.

So, we see that the Lord has a day.

And that day is the Sabbath—Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

When asked if Sunday is the Lord's day, we'd have to say: "most certainly not!"

Over what day is Jesus Lord?

He said it Himself, Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.

On what day do faithful followers of Jesus observe and worship?

At the very heart of the Ten Commandments we are told, "Remember the Sabbath day to

keep it holy".

What will you do about that shocking truth?

The fact is: we can't be true Christians and not follow Jesus.

To claim to be Christian means we must follow Christ.

It's also important to realize that God instructs all of us to examine, to test and

to prove what we believe.

It isn't good enough just to believe something or even to reject a doctrine just because

it has been taught.

The apostle Paul tells us to "prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1

Thessalonians 5:21, KJV).

You see, when we're challenged by a teaching, we should ask ourselves: "Do I practice

1 Thessalonians 5:21—proving all things?"

You should prove Jesus' Sabbath teaching.

There is an example of doing just that recorded in Acts 17.

Paul was preaching the truth and it most likely shocked the people of Berea.

How did they handle that surprising message?

Verse 11 says: "Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians,

for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see

if what Paul said was true" (Acts 17:11 NIV).

Now when their beliefs were challenged, they reacted in a way that we can learn from.

First of all, they "received the Word"—they listened attentively.

They wanted to know what he had to say and make sure they clearly understood him before

making any judgments.

It would have been easy for them to listen and then conclude, Paul's crazy, and then

dismiss what he said without much thought.

But, that was not their approach.

They understood that the Word of God should be handled with respect and care, and not

taken lightly or taken for granted.

So they "examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."

But also notice this: Not only did they open their Bibles and study it for themselves,

but we're told they did so daily.

They didn't just look up a few things—they made a study of the Word of God as a part

of their lives every day!

They wanted to know whether or not the teaching was truly accurate.

Now if they could confirm the teachings from Scripture, then they would have to accept

it, change and follow.

Put another way, it was important for them to know what they believed, and it was just

as important to know why they believed it!

Their example is a wonderful lesson for us all.

Will you examine, and test and prove what you believe?

I hope that you'll carefully examine these things in the light of Scripture.

Now don't believe it just because I say so.

Don't believe something just because you grew up in this version of religion or in

that church.

If you do, you are at risk.

Look to the Bible.

God's Word tells everyone that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever"

(Hebrews 13:8).

No wonder He inspired Hebrews 4:9 "There remains, therefore, a Sabbath rest for the

people of God to keep" (ISV).

Now what will you do?

God moved the apostle Paul to warn us all:

He wrote: "But Eve's mind was tricked by the snake's clever lies.

And here's what I'm afraid of.

Your minds will also somehow be led astray.

They will be led away from your true and pure love for Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3, NIRV).

Don't be deceived.

Be sure that you choose the right direction and are never led away from truly following

Christ.

If it could happen then—it could happen now.

If it could happen to them—it could happen to us!

Up next, I'm going to discuss the shocking teachings of Jesus with our Beyond Today panel,

but first let's recap what we've covered today:

Even though there are 2.2 billion people who profess to be Christian, how many actually

know and keep God's Word and way?

The fact is: we can't be true Christians and not follow Jesus.

To claim to be Christian means we must follow Christ.

To follow Jesus means we must observe the Sabbath!

To discuss this surprising teaching of Christ further fellow hosts, Darris McNeely and Gary

Petty join me.

Now here's a question: Should we really be surprised at Jesus' teaching about the

Sabbath?

[Darris] Absolutely not, Steve.

Christ was the creator.

He is described as the one by whom all the heavens are created.

And in Genesis chapter 1 and chapter 2 where we find that creation account, He created

man in His image and then the very next creative act was the seventh-day Sabbath.

And that comes before the giving of the law, any of the covenants of Mt. Sinai and the

other covenants of the New Testament.

Sabbath has been in effect since creation.

Christ gave the Sabbath when He said that He was the Lord of the Sabbath.

He was describing exactly what Genesis tells us and what the entire Bible is about on that

particular point.

[Gary] Putting those two points together are real important.

I mean, here we have Paul says that God created all things through Jesus Christ.

So, we look in Genesis, the Creator there, the one doing the creation is Jesus Christ.

And it's He who created the Sabbath and rested on the Sabbath.

Then we see Him come as a man and He says the Sabbath is for all humanity, not just

Jews, for all humanity.

You put those two things together and it is obvious the Sabbath was created for everyone,

and it hasn't been done away.

[Darris] Every race, every ethnicity, not just for the Jews or Israel, but for all mankind.

[Steve] Yeah how critical to know that creation is where that Sabbath began and even the fact

that God Himself rested on the Sabbath and set it apart, which is sometimes shocking

for people to realize that very thing.

One of the challenges we have then when we hear things like this, what do we do when

we recognize that this is something surprising that, I'm not sure what to do now?

How should we handle these kinds of things?

[Darris] Well you come to a point in life that you must recognize that either this Word

is the Word of God or it isn't.

We believe that it is and if you believe that it is, it tells you then what day is the Sabbath

and it must be observed to have a true relationship, in truth, with God.

And so, you're at a point in your life where you have to either do what the Bible says

and reap its blessings or reject its instruction and its guidance on your life.

There are consequences for that.

[Gary] There is a God.

He created us.

He knows how life works.

He wants us to be happy and productive and to obey Him and follow Him.

I mean, yes, we need to go in there and find out what our God wants.

And to worship our God.

[Steve] And we put Him first, we do what He says.

We do what He says.

And that can be a challenge because sometimes we may find ourselves in a whole different

place.

So, how do we avoid the deception?

How do we avoid that perspective in our life?

[Darris] By obeying.

You can only prove God, prove that He is the God that He describes in the Bible by taking

Him at His Word and then acting upon the instructions that He says.

God says, prove me now herewith on His law and on the Sabbath then we can and should

do that and by doing so, we enter into a relationship with the God of creation, who then is working

with us.

Understand, if you've gotten this far already in the program with us and on this topic,

God has begun to lift the veil off your mind.

And that then puts a decision upon you to act.

God may be already acting in your life and you've got to begin to act your part.

I think that's where we've all found ourselves and it's the most important point on this

topic.

[Gary] I have been studying that Book since I was a child and I am still constantly surprised

by it.

What God has for us, what God wants for us is there.

We should be surprised by it which means we have to be humble.

We have to at times, not trust ourselves, but trust in God.

[Steve] There's so much that we can learn when we actually do the things in the Bible.

Always interesting to know that hearing is one thing but doing puts it into practice

and we can learn so much about God and develop that relationship when we actually follow.

There's been a lot to consider regarding Jesus' true teachings on today's program.

The truth of the Bible, it certainly stands in stark contrast to traditional religious

concepts.

Now throughout today's program I've covered some important differences between Jesus'

teachings and Christianity itself!

It is hard to imagine that it's actually possible to go to church and not really be

following Jesus!

How can you discern the genuine teachings of Jesus Christ from those that are false?

great plan for you and all mankind!

It's a fact: modern Christianity often opposes the teachings of Christ.

Jesus plainly said that many would listen to false teachers and false Christs instead

of Him.

We must decide to follow Him on the right path.

So remember, we can't claim to "believe on Christ" without understanding and obeying

what He taught.

The only way to truly understand is to read your Bible and learn His teachings.

Pray for God's inspiration and direction.

Christ doesn't want you to claim to be religious and only possess a weak understanding of what

He actually taught.

If you are shocked by the teachings of Christ, take that opportunity to act.

Study those instructions and choose to change.

Always rely on Jesus Christ to help you live by every Word of God and strive to follow

His example in all things.

That's the program for today.

How Luke Met Young Anakin in a Vision [Legends] - Star Wars Explained - Duration: 3:54.

About 9 years before A New Hope, a young Luke Skywalker ran away from his home after getting

into an argument with Uncle Owen after he refused to tell his nephew anything about

his biological father.

As he was making his way through the desert, the winds began to pick up and send sand into

Luke, causing him to fall down and begin to cough.

As he was coughing, he heard a disfigured voice of Darth Vader making remarks about

him from the future.

When he looked up, he saw a quick glimpse of the dark lord before a young Anakin emerged,

asking Luke if he was okay.

Luke told the boy that he was alright and that he was relieved that he wasn't a Tusken

raider.

To which Anakin reassured him that he wasn't anything that sinister.

He then helped Luke up and they soon continued on through the desert.

As they walked together, they began to relate to each other over how they wished they could

have known their fathers.

Then the winds started to pick up, making Luke sick as he was beginning to get a thing

called Dust Fever.

They began to search for shelter before stumbling onto a corpse of a Tusken Raider who was left

for dead by his tribe after his Bantha died.

Luke showed very little sympathy for the dead Tusken Raider, knowing the damage and harm

they are capable of.

While Anakin felt bad for the guy, believing they are violent because they are simply misunderstood.

They then find a cave to which they use as a shelter while the sand storm blows over.

While in the cave, both boys expressed their ambitions of getting off of Tatooine and becoming

a pilot.

But this chat quickly ended when wolf like creatures emerged and began attacking them.

Unable to fend them all off, the boys ran out of the cave and back into the sand storm.

They then stumbled upon a deactivated astromech droid to which Anakin proclaimed he could

fix and use to send a signal for help.

As he was fixing the droid, Anakin told Luke how he wished he could just fix everything

and make the galaxy the way it should be.

Although Luke initially agreed feeling the same way as him, he then said how he believes

people should be allowed to make their own choices.

But Anakin disagreed, believing people usually don't know what's for their own good.

Which is a nice contrast between their two mindsets on the galaxy, and it also kind of

foreshadows what they have and will become.

Anyway Luke soon begins to realize that this whole experience has just been a dream, or

in his own words a nightmare, as out of nowhere a giant Krayt dragon appeared and began to

attack him.

Using just the Tusken Raider Gaffi Stick, Luke was able to defeat the Krayt dragon.

But as he did, he awoke from his dream slash hallucination and was then found by Uncle

Owen and a few of his mates.

They recovered Luke and gave him water.

He then asked Owen if he had killed the Krayt dragon, to which the other men responded with

laughter and telling him that it was all just a fever dream.

But then Luke began to protest their laughter stating that it wasn't a dream and that

he had met a boy named Annie and hoped that he was okay.

And that's when Owen realized there was something special about Luke.

For not only did he survive one of Tatooine's toughest sandstorms, but he also knew his

father's childhood nickname.

For at that point in his life Luke was never told of his father's name, let alone his

nickname.

That was probably the moment Owen realized that Luke may have the same powers that the

Jedi of the past had.

The same powers that destroyed his father.

Powers that he needed to keep hidden from not only outsiders but from Luke himself,

as Owen wished for the boy to grow up and live a normal life as he originally hoped

he would, and not follow same destructive path as his father before him had.

VEGAN FÜR 5 EURO AM TAG | VLOG 20 | SPORTSTUDENT - Duration: 6:31.

What's good, guys

I am back

It has probably been two weeks or so

My hard drive was damaged

annoying story, did take some time to fix it

but now I am back, don't worry, there will be new Videos

But for now, though, there is the last part of my vegan on 5 euros a day serie

not a 100 % up-to-date, but

I think the material could definitely be used

have fun

(check out "Casper - Auf und Davon" on YouTube;))

Good morning, guys

It is sunday, the last day of the challenge

I know, I didn't film every day, but

the weather is nice, I wanna go for a run

come with me (if you wanna live ;)

don't Forget, the daily grounding

We are having a quick Little photo shoot with my band

So I have to wear some nice clothes

I wonder if my band likes this outfit

especially you, Kai, you know it

Kai "Lagerfeld" our expert for fashion

Now I am making a smoothie and a juice

11 a.m. I have to leave, soon

to Hamburg

So I have to prepare my Food for the day

and cut a video

carrot Juice, smoothie, pancakes in the kitchen

and my

my meal for later

classic: tomatoe Sauce, lentils, veggies

All Food for the day is prepared

I can do what I want

I am always late

which means I have to finish These pancakes, I made

in five minutes

It is kinda like a Furious Pete eating challenge

I have to eat something, I Need gainz!!

drums are gone

We are sitting in a two-seated car with three people

That is not allowed

real gangstaaa!

We Need to eat, I Need my gainzzz!

I can never eat anything

Well, I would give him Money, so he can eat

Really?

Here you go guys, I have Money for Dave

Because my Budget is spent

Here is another day (5 Euros)

Where are the other bands??

Where are the other bands?

the magnificient band 'l'appel du vide'

Did you have fun, Kai?

bye, son

It was so joyful

back to the bus

Well, that's it, hope you like it

I just realize while cutting the video

that, for some reason, my conclusion doesn't work anymore

And that is why I am doing a quick conclucion right now

5 Euros is, in my opinion, really easy

I could easily continue for some longer time

I could probably have added a few more veggies

because I spent around 30 Euros in total for the week

because I've got a few leftovers

But all Things considered

If you have to, you can easily do it

and it is definitely no excuse to not eat plant based

so no excuse like "I don't have enough Money"

you know, what I mean, guys

or maybe even if you have to save some money

but enough of that, there will be more Videos in the future

stay tuned

until then

ciao!!!

Joy Cone // TheCandyGuy - Duration: 2:18.

Welcome back to my channel TheCandyGuy

where i talk about treats for the sweet tooth

today I'm going to talk about Joy Cones

The Joy Cone Company began in 1918 in Pennsylvania

when Albert George, a Lebanese immigrant

with his family started making cones

with a secondhand cone machine

The company started off with the name

George and Thomas company

before getting the name Joy Cone and

this company has remained in the family

for the last century

Joy cones come in different forms

the waffle cone

the sugar cone

and then the cake cone

]this could have been a disaster

there has been slight debates on who

created the first cone but many can

agree that the Syrian immigrant

Ernest A. Hamwi

is the strongest candidate who

made the cone a hit at the St. Louis

World's Fair in 1904

I can't recall the first time I had a Joy cone

because I was way too young but I do remember

going as a kid to Thirsty's market with

my mom and maternal grandmother and

getting a cone with ice cream

It's a memory I think of now and then when having ice

there will be a video in the

description showing how all three of

these cones are made

check it out if you'd like to see

Thank you for watching this week's video of TheCandyGuy

Links for the Penny Candy Store where I'm

usually at and myself will be in the

description of this video i post videos

every Friday so i shall see you all next Friday

Have a sweet day. Bye!

Elgato Stream Deck Review - More Than Just a Meme Machine - Duration: 5:55.

It seems that every other gamer is streaming these days, myself included.

Presenting gameplay and commentary to a live audience brings about a certain thrill, and

really enhances enjoyment of the medium.

Current gen gaming platforms have embraced streaming as well, making it easy to hit a

couple of buttons and start transmitting.

The PS4, for example, has its own "Share Button," which allows players to start broadcasting

in a matter of seconds.

This is all fantastic for casual streaming, and for many it's enough.

However, for those looking to take things to the next level, with vastly higher production

values, things can quickly become more complicated.

With potentially multiple scenes to switch between, sources to enable and disable, graphics,

sound effects, and notifications -- this can all get to be a bit much.

And when you're trying to play a game, while entertaining an audience, you don't want

a mess of distractions weighing you down.

This is where Elgato Gaming has stepped in, to allow high production values without sacrificing

the actual enjoyment of streaming.

The Stream Deck aims to save the day with a powerful feature set contained within a

small form factor.

The main attraction here is the 15 LCD keys, which can each be designated a function and

custom image, or turned into a folder, allowing for up to 210 actions to be assigned in total.

It's also possible that Elgato could add nested folders in the future, meaning even

more room for extra functions!

What makes the Stream Deck truly stand out amidst the competition is its direct API integration

with a number of popular streaming programs.

This essentially means it can talk to applications and give them specific instructions even while

they aren't in focus.

A simple example of this is if you want to send a pre-written tweet.

Perhaps you want to alert your audience about your stream starting in 10 minutes time.

Well, simply assign that function to a key, give it a push, and that's the tweet written

and sent.

You even get visual feedback with each key you activate.

No longer are streamers left wondering if everything worked as intended!

This functionality is applied to other programs like OBS and Elgato's own Game Capture software.

I'm fond of the latter, and have my Stream Deck programmed to make both capturing and

streaming simpler.

Direct integration with Twitch and TipeeeStream should please streamers, too, and I hear that

XSplit support is being "looked into."

The Stream Deck can also be assigned websites or programs to open, or bound with various

hotkeys.

I have my frequent apps, websites, and games all set up with their own images, meaning

everything I need is just a button push away.

The various recording methods I use take up the majority of my middle row, with each using

different hotkeys.

For my content creation needs, which are largely satiated by Adobe Premiere and Photoshop,

I have asset folders at the ready, as well as hotkeys for each program.

So while this device is mainly aimed at streamers, it can absolutely assist in making workflows

more efficient, or speeding up general PC use.

What's great, is that this functionality is just the beginning, with Elgato working

to develop the software and add more programs as time goes on.

Speaking of the software and how you go about customizing the interface, it's a piece

of cake.

Booting it up takes you to a digital representation of the 15 LCD keys, whose functions can be

assigned with a simple drag and drop.

If you grab and hold an action over a key, you'll turn it into a folder.

Clicking the icon image will let you add a custom graphic, which you can create using

Elgato's own web-based tool, a program like Photoshop or GIMP, or you can just grab them

from Google images.

Text can also be added to each key, if you need them to stand out a little more.

The setting menu is fairly barebones, with a brightness slider, update checker, account

management page, and an area where you can reset, import, or export your layouts.

It's all very easy.

As for my list of negatives, I've really only had one significant problem.

This is the screen burn-in which I've noticed on a few of the keys.

Sometimes text can remain, despite having been deleted.

I've spoken with Elgato Gaming about this, and apparently they've never seen it before.

Despite testing hundreds of units for hundreds of hours, my review sample is the only one

to have this issue.

Happily, the text does seem to have faded somewhat over the last few days, and is only

noticeable if you look closely.

As for other cons, there isn't much to cover.

I've had the Game Capture app pop up with an error a few times, when accidentally selecting

the same scene, but it doesn't actually close the software.

It's a minor annoyance that I'm sure will be ironed out in a patch.

Another thing I'd like to have seen is a detachable cable, or at the very least it

could do with being a bit longer.

Oh, and for those wondering about OS compatibility, you'll be needing Windows 10 or macOS 10.11

and above.

Some may be expecting me to harp on about the $149.95 price tag, which I'll admit

seemed steep when I first heard about it.

However, having looked at the competition and weighing in the Stream Deck's API integration

and ability to create folders, as well as the overall ease of use, the price seems justified

for someone like me with a one PC, two monitor setup.

Perhaps the problem is that cosmetically, it doesn't look all that substantial or

impressive.

And I'll agree that the subtle design does little to hint at the power within.

This little guy packs a punch, and is a worthy purchase for any streamer looking to increase

the quality of their production, without taking the focus away from what's important: enjoying

games and keeping the audience entertained.

The Stream Deck offers a lot of convenience for that $150 price tag, and if you've gone

beyond using just the built-in PS4 app, to stream and perhaps also game on a PC or Mac,

I'd recommend keeping an out for the Elgato Stream Deck when it launches on May 15, 2017.

What do you think of the Stream Deck?

Is it something you'd be interested in?

Buzzfeed Thinks Gamera Is Homophobic - Duration: 3:59.

Gamera is a fictional giant monster.

His first appearance in 1965's "Gamera the Invincible" was initially produced to rival the success

of Toho's Godzilla series, however the friend of all children has gain fame

in its own right and was featured on American television

through American International Pictures & Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Gamera is really neat, Gamera is fulled with meat!

We've been eating Gamera!

Although the Gamera franchise produced less than 12 films, the underlying theme of the friend of all children

is deeply rooted in homophobia and has parallels to the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

1966's "War of the Monsters" premise is very simplistic. A group of cis, able bodied men

were sent to an island to receive a mysterious opal.

En route to Japan, a character by the name of Onodera accidentally leaves the opal behind in his room

exposing it to an infrared light.

Barugon processes two abilities: a freeze ray & a rainbow ray.

Many attempts were made to dodge the freeze ray, however, none were successful.

Whenever Barugon fires his rainbow ray, it symbolizes the LGBT community

fighting against systemic oppression for gay rights.

Although Barugon appears to be a threat against Japan,

Gamera demonstrated his homophobia once he killed off the gay, black beast.

And although Barugon's egg turned out not to be an opal, the egg symbolize a recent scientific breakthrough

in which gay couples could have their own biological children, carrying traits from both parents.

It was only fitting that Onodora was eaten by the very thing he bought into this world.

1969's "Attack of the Monsters" features an outer worldly monster by the name of Guiron.

At first glance, he may appear as the oppressor with his knife head ability,

but the reality is the polar opposite.

Like a black slave unwilling to obey his master, Guiron reluctantly fights Gamera

through the orders of his supremacist alien overloads . And like with black slaves,

Guiron is caged in a small space, resembling the harsh conditions of the The Good Ship Jesus.

Because of post traumatic slave syndrome, Guiron fights against the monster Gyaos

and like Kunta Kinte's slave masters, proceeds to cut off its limbs.

This theme of self enslavement continues in 1968's "Destroy All Planets"

when a group of aliens with the same post traumatic slave syndrome

proceed to sacrifice their lives to form the monster, Viras.

To do this, I must have all of your lives!

No master! No!

Gamera's intersectional underpinnings are quite problematic.

Although there have been less than 12 films in the franchise, not a single one featured a black body,

urthering displaying its racism against people of color.

If the friend of all children wants to remain relevant, it must change its undertones for future entries to come.

The People Who Can Turn Streetlights OFF/ON Just by Walking by - Duration: 11:02.

One fine evening, you're returning home after a long day's work.

As you stroll down the footpath of the street a block away from your house, no one else

is around, and you only have the street lamps illuminating your path towards home.

Oddly, the street lamp you just walked by suddenly switched off, only turning on again

once you've passed it.

Being the level-headed person that you are, you shrug off what happened as mere coincidence

and think nothing more to it.

However, three days later, you passed the same row of street lights, and the phenomenon

happens again.

Even weirder, this time around, three successive lamps are affected, each one suddenly turning

off as you approach, only to switch on again as soon as you step away.

What just happened?

Was this another random coincidence you should dismiss?

Or did you somehow influence the street lights with a hidden energy or power you didn't

know you had?

Many people have personally experienced – or at the very least, witnessed – a streetlight

suddenly turning off as someone passes under it.

While some may think that this is mere chance, there are also others that suggest this to

be an unknown phenomenon caused by a few individuals who supposedly possess an incomprehensible

ability to influence electrical devices.

Over the years, more and more people have become more open with sharing their unusual

experiences involving street lamps, and this phenomenon came to be known as "Street Light

Interference" or SLI.

"Street Light Interference" is a term coined by paranormal scholar and author Hilary

Evans to denote the claimed ability of individuals to turn street lights or outside security

building lights on or off when passing near them.

Experience of this nature are quite common, with many people all over the world claiming

that they involuntarily and usually spontaneously cause street lamps to go out.

Typically, "the effect is intermittent, infrequent and is without an immediately discernable

sequence of cause and effect."

Although there are many personal anecdotes involving SLI experiences, the circumstances

of each case are not always the same as with other instances.

Some people report that they have only encountered switching off a single street light close

by, while others claim to have influenced as many as a row of street lights in a single

instance.

There also those that possess the capacity to randomly affect only specific street lights,

which makes it difficult to discern a testable pattern in studying SLI.

Moreover, though the majority of SLI cases happen while walking, others say the phenomenon

also occurs for them while they ride on bicycles, motorbikes, or even the bus.

However, the SLI phenomenon is not limited to street lights alone.

There are also reports of people who supposedly can spontaneously and intermittently affect

other electronic devices, which varies from battery-operated wrist watches to railroad

crossing to aircraft navigation equipment.

Some people also claim to affect volume levels on TVs, radios, and music players, and cause

credit cards and other magnetically encoded cards to get damaged and erased while in their

possession.

There are also those who often experience problems with compasses, causing them to stop

or malfunction.

People who supposedly experience the SLI phenomenon are referred to as "SLIders."

Many "SLIders" suffer from a lack of validation for their skeptical family members and friends

unless the time comes that they witness the repeated occurrences firsthand.

Without sufficient explanation for the phenomenon they experience and with no one to turn to

confirm them, SLIders are mostly left with their own devices in imagining and speculating

regarding the nature of their supposed power to influence street lamps and other items

and devices.

In a modern world where empirical research decides the validity of a theory or a hypothesis,

any attempt in determining the main cause of the Street Light Interference phenomenon

without thorough scientific investigation is dismissed as mere speculation and intensely

rejected by the academic community.

This is where the problem with studying SLI arises.

As with other reported psychic or paranormal phenomena, SLI is very difficult – if not

impossible – to reproduce in a laboratory setting.

They seem to occur spontaneously and sporadically without the deliberate intention of the SLIder.

However, there are some informal tests that have been conducted involving this phenomenon,

and some of the data gathered in some research and studies are based heavily or solely on

the personal anecdotes and subjective reports of the people who claim to have witnessed

or experienced SLI for themselves.

Even then, these tests and studies have shown that SLIders are usually unable to recreate

the SLI effect on demand.

Prior to his death in 2011, the British paranormal scholar Hilary Evans was the foremost authority

on SLI.

Aside from being a pictorial archivist and authoring numerous books on the Fortean, Evans

also helped found the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena or

ASSAP in 1981.

And after receiving numerous reports from different people claiming that street lights

respond to their presence in an inexplicable manner, Evans decided to uncover the truth

behind the mystery.

He collected hundreds of accounts of SLI through his research which he referred to as Street

Lamp Interference Data Exchange or SLIDE.

The culmination of this research was the publication of his final book titled, "SLIDERS: The

Enigma Street Light Interference."

According to Evans, it is theoretically possible that every person who claims to have experienced

SLI could be lying.

However, since the majority of SLIders have "no ostensible motivation apart from a natural

and commendable desire to resolve" this mystery, we can probably set aside deliberate

deceit for the time being.

And so, based on various research, studies and assumptions from experts that are supportive

or skeptical about the validity of the Street Light Interference phenomenon, possible explanations

for witness claims of SLI can be grouped into three broad categories - psychological, paranormal,

and mechanical.

In his book about Street Light Interference, Evans raised this primary question: "does

SLI occur at all, or are the alleged witnesses deluding themselves?"

According to Evans, a decisive answer to this question cannot be produced until the SLI

phenomenon is scientifically tested.

However, he also mentioned the possibility that SLI could be a shared delusion, much

like the widespread delusion that has taken place in the past – such as the witchcraft

mania that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries – and even in our more enlightened

era – such as the on-going alien abduction mania.

However, Evans also noted that SLI does not have the same psychological pay-off as witchcraft

or abductions.

Those who seek to enhance their special gift of influencing street lamps will not find

much to flatter themselves with achieving such a feat.

In short, while its possibility cannot be disregarded, it seems highly unlikely that

all SLI experiences are delusions.

There are also those that suggest that that the SLI phenomenon might be attributed to

people's tendency to see patterns in "random noise."

Because it is unusual for a light to turn itself on or off when you walk past it, it

catches your attention when it does happen.

And when it occurs several times consecutively, people have the tendency to think that there

is some kind of mechanism at work that makes it possible.

And so, some argue that SLI can trace its roots in the power of suggestion, which requires

a mix of different factors to work.

As such, SLI could be brought about by the normal behavior of bulbs getting older, the

witness's observer bias, and some other important factor that is unknown to the person

which would help in making sense of the situation.

Street Light Interference as a paranormal phenomenon is considered by skeptics to be

the least likely possibility.

By "paranormal," we are pertaining to what occurs outside the conventionally recognized

"normal" scientific parameters.

It doesn't have to mean that a supernatural force or an occult process is involved.

If SLI really does occur as SLIders claim, then this phenomenon cannot be confined in

the parameters of conventional science.

Until now, there is no scientific recognition that the human mind can cause physical effects

at a distance, which is what SLIders allege to be the case in SLI.

However, the problem with SLI being a paranormal phenomenon is that it will be difficult to

conduct experiments to test SLI since the phenomenon happens only at random and it is

not produced by the person willing for it to happen.

There are also those who believe that what is causing street lamps to turn off or on

could be some kind of "energy" that is emitted by the human body.

SLIders report that the instances they spontaneously influence street lamps usually occur while

they are tired, stressed, furious, or sad.

Others, on the other hand, believe that street lamps are affected by some kind of static

electricity that is produced by the body.

There are also speculations that SLI might have something to do with the electrical impulses

of the brain.

At present, these electrical impulses are known to only have an effect within the body

of an individual, but if it could somehow have an effect outside the body, then it could

be the unconventional remote control that turns street lights off and on for these SLI

eyewitnesses.

According to Evans, "The fact that a mechanical device is involved logically suggests that

a mechanical explanation should be looked for."

This is precisely why some skeptics suggest that SLI occurs as a consequence of lights

nearing the end of their life.

Typical modern street lamps are of the low-pressure sodium-vapor variety, which emit red glow

at start up and turn into a steady monochrome yellow once they're fully operating.

The lamps automatically switch on at sundown through the activation of a light-sensitive

cell or a photocell.

When sunlight returns at dawn, the photocell is triggered again, switching the lamps off.

These bulbs take three to four minutes to light up and have a lifespan of 8,000 hours

or approximately two years.

When a bulb reaches the end of its life, it manifests a behavior that could explain the

SLI phenomenon.

This behavior is called "cycling," which entails street lamps turning on and off every

few minutes until the time comes that a technician comes along to replace the bulb.

It is also possible that the bulb becomes slightly dislodged from its socket.

If that is the case, even a minor vibration – such as that caused by a passing car,

bike, or person – is enough to make the lamp blink for a brief moment.

The Street Light Interference is a phenomenon that remains to be a genuine and fascinating

mystery to those who believe it, and to those who are open to reserve judgement on it until

such a time comes that sufficient empirical evidence is presented that completely disproves

it or verifies it.

Should it be proven true later on, SLI carries profound and exciting implications for science

as well as for our knowledge about human potential.

But speculations aside, we also must not lose sight of the fact that at least some, if not

all, incidents of SLI can be attributed to entirely mundane causes.

It could simply be a natural event that could be explained by logical reasons, but we are

unable to conclude as such because of insufficiency in tangible or verifiable evidence and the

influence of psychological factors.

Do You Know How Long A Second Is? -- DONG - Duration: 4:50.

Boom...microphone. Hey. My name is Michael Stevens and I'm not just about goofs and gags. I'm also here to talk about DONGs.

And that should be a relief because last week Jake was here trying to get $3,000,000 out of you for nothing.

I however, will make you payfornothing.club a possibly overpriced DONG, something you can do online

now guys.

Get better at feeling time by practicing your ability to guess the length of a second with clicclock.

The goal is to click ten times and leave exactly one second between each of your clicks.

If it gives you a positive value, you need to be quicker but a negative value indicates

that you didn't give enough time.

Sweet, I took way too long with all of my clicks!

Jason Davies Voroni diagram shows you the locations of airports around Earth.

As well as the regions around them containing places on Earth for which they are the nearest airport.

Check out the most remote point on Earth from any airport.

It's 76 degrees south and 68 degrees East.

The most remote airport is 27 degrees south and 109 degrees west.

Unfortunately you can't hope on a plane to

Journey to the Center of the Earth but you can use this DONG.

Along the way you'll see the depths of different things under the surface of the land and water.

For example .7 meters beneath the surface is where rabbit warrens and mole burrows can

be found.

5 meters is the depth of an olympic swimming pool.

At 85 meters there is an underground city.

Finally 3,958 miles, down. About 6,370 km you will reach the core.

This isn't related to the last DONG but it is related to your face.

First trace these lines to see the variation of expressions he can show like shock.

Then use your webcam to make faces and watch as he mimics them.

He's looking pretty relaxed right now, probably due to the beautiful music you're playing

on

Strings, a site that demonstrates the relationship between a string's length

and pitch.

But most importantly it's just fun and you can produce sweet melodies like this.

What in the world is that noise interrupting my music?!

Oh.

A bad car battery.

On mycarmakesnoise.com you can better understand what different sounds indicate when your car

needs fixing.

Once you identify where the noise is coming from like, under the hood, outside the car,

or under the car, you can select the category and listen to an array of noises.

A vaccum hose leak sounds like this.

What a win-win situation. That wasn't a pun. It was just me demonstrating why I deserve

the award for most confusing use of the expression "win-win."

It's an Arbitrary Award.

I do have a lot of swag but I'm definitely not a criminal.

Is there an award for being super talented at

99 Balls?

In this game you have to knock out each ball in the designated number of turns.

If you shoot and collect one of these rings, you'll get an extra weapon which in turn

helps you hit more balls.

As you advance, the number of hits it takes to get rid of each one increases just like

Choose one, and it will give you exercises to complete that work those muscles.

You can tell I use the website a lot because of my amazing muscles.

A lot of this though comes from lifting the Curiosity Box. If you got the new one you may have seen the elements

book that came inside. It's a real beauty and a really big book. But enough about learning about elements. I'm sure you'd rather spell with them.

Well luckily there's a DONG for that. Recommended to us on our DONG twitter account by Hungry Maxzilla.

Spelling with elements. This site allows you to type in a word and it will try to spell that word using only

the symbols on the periodic table.

Clicking on the element will take you to its wikipedia page which is awesome.

But of course there aren't enough letters used in atomic symbols to spell any possible word.

Check this site out. Learn about elements. And learn what letters still need to be assigned to elements

So we can spell more things. Hopefully you'll be the one to discover those elements.

James Comey Releases Farewell Letter, After Calling Trump Crazy - Duration: 4:14.

James Comey Releases Farewell Letter, After Calling Trump Crazy

by Tyler Durden

Taking the generous way out, former FBI Director James Comey sent a farewell letter on Wednesday

to friends and agents, in which he notes he does not bear a grudge and notes that "a President

can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all" and adds that "I'm not

going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed.

I hope you won't either.

It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply."

Comey urges the FBI, which he described as "a rock of competence, honesty, and independence"

to continue its �mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution�

and concludes by saying that his "hope is that you will continue to live our values

and the mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution.

Working with you has been one of the great joys of my life.

Thank you for that gift."

Full letter below, via CNN:

To all:

I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for

no reason at all.

I'm not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed.

I hope you won't either.

It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply.

I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the American people should see

the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence.

What makes leaving the FBI hard is the nature and quality of its people, who together make

it that rock for America.

It is very hard to leave a group of people who are committed only to doing the right

thing.

My hope is that you will continue to live our values and the mission of protecting the

American people and upholding the Constitution.

If you do that, you too will be sad when you leave, and the American people will be safer.

Working with you has been one of the great joys of my life.

Thank you for that gift.

Jim Comey That's the good FBI cop.

The bad cop emerged in a NYT report on the last days of Comey.

Some details:

By the end, neither of them thought much of the other.

After President Trump accused his predecessor in March of wiretapping him, James B. Comey,

the F.B.I. director, was flabbergasted.

The president, Mr. Comey told associates, was �outside the realm of normal,� even

�crazy.�

For his part, Mr. Trump fumed when Mr. Comey publicly dismissed the sensational wiretapping

claim.

In the weeks that followed, he grew angrier and began talking about firing Mr. Comey.

After stewing last weekend while watching Sunday talk shows at his New Jersey golf resort,

Mr. Trump decided it was time.

There was �something wrong with� Mr. Comey, he told aides.

Mr. Comey�s fate was sealed by his latest testimony about the bureau�s investigation

into Russia�s efforts to sway the 2016 election and the Clinton email inquiry.

Mr. Trump burned as he watched, convinced that Mr. Comey was grandstanding.

He was particularly irked when Mr. Comey said he was �mildly nauseous� to think that

his handling of the email case had influenced the election, which Mr. Trump took to demean

his own role in history.

At that point, Mr. Trump began talking about firing him.

He and his aides thought they had an opening because Mr. Comey gave an incorrect account

of how Huma Abedin, a top adviser to Mrs. Clinton, transferred emails to her husband�s

laptop, an account the F.B.I. later corrected.

They also assumed that because Democrats were mad at Mrs. Clinton for recently blaming her

loss on Mr. Comey, there might not be as much objection if

the president fired him.

How Information Is Controlled by Washington, Israel, and Trolls, Leading to Our Destruction - Duration: 17:23.

How Information Is Controlled by Washington, Israel, and Trolls, Leading to Our Destruction

by Edward Morgan

Dear Readers: I very much appreciate the support you show for me in your emails.

I seldom receive a rude email from you, and when I do it is usually something off subject,

such as a reader angry with Israel and unloading on me with an accusation that I am a coward

and a �Jew-lover� because I don�t do enough to expose the crimes of the Jews.

This accusation always amuses me as the ADL lists me as an anti-Semite because I occasionally

make an entirely justified criticism of Israel�s mistreatment of Palestinians and excessive

influence over US foreign policy, as have many outstanding scholars, such as John Mearsheimer

and Stephen Walt, and many Jews themselves.

My friends find my designation by the ADL as an anti-Semite hilarious.

The person whom I selected as my principal deputy in the US Treasury is a Jew.

David Meiselman, my friend and co-author with me of an important study of the Congressional

Budget Office, is a Jew (deceased).

I went to Oxford for the express purpose of studying under Michael Polanyi, a Jew who

had to leave his scientific post in Germany to escape the Nazis.

Milton Friedman, an early supporter of the Institute for Political Economy, is a Jew

(deceased).

When my book (1971) on the Soviet economy was republished in 1990 without a word changed,

it was a Jew who wrote the Introduction.

He asked, �Why did only Roberts get it right?�

I have had Israelis as house guests.

And the ADL labels me an anti-Semite.

Clearly, the term no longer means anything.

I hold Israel and the Israel Lobby accountable, just as I held accountable the Reagan administration,

the George H.W. Bush administration, the Clinton regime, the George W. Bush regime, the Obama

regime, and the Trump regime.

(I differentiate between administration and regime on the basis of whether the president

actually had meaningful control over the government.

If the president has some control, he has an administration.)

According to the ADL�s logic, I am both anti-Reagan and anti-American.

But readers see me as a true patriot, and Reagan-haters see me as a Reagan-apologist.

Clearly, something is wrong with the ADL�s logic.

Obviously, the Israel Lobby has destroyed the meaning of anti-Semite.

In its effort to control the explanation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Israel

Lobby has made �anti-Semite� into a badge of honor.

Control over explanations is important to Zionist Israel.

If Americans can be convinced, as many have been, that Palestinians are terrorists out

to kill all Jews, Israel�s theft of Palestine and mistreatment of Palestinians is not the

issue that it would otherwise be.

The Israel Lobby also works hard to control which voices are acceptable and which are

not.

For example, no one is permitted to investigate the Holocaust.

Some European countries have a law against Holocaust investigation, and historians have

been sent to prison for challenging the official explanation, which it is mandatory to believe.

In the US the Israel Lobby can even overturn decisions on academic tenure.

For example, the outstanding scholar, Norman Finkelstein, a Jew and a critic of Israel,

was denied tenure at a Catholic University solely on the basis of objection from the

Israel Lobby.

I find it extraordinary that not even Catholic Universities can stand up to the power of

the Israel Lobby.

The tenure committee and the faculty voted Finkelstein�s tenure, and the Israel Lobby

interceded with the university president and blocked it.

Similarly, Steven Salaita was offered a tenure appointment at the University of Illinois

at Urbana-Champaign, accepted it, resigned his tenure at Virginia Tech, sold his house

and moved his family to Illinois only to have the president of the University of Illinois

illegally cancel his appointment, apparently on orders from the Israel Lobby.

Salaita�s attitude toward Israel was not acceptable to Israel.

The Israel Lobby succeeded in eliminating two outstanding scholars from American academic

life, thereby extending Zionist control of the Israeli/Palestinian explanation by eliminating

alternative explanations.

As far as I can ascertain, neither scholar has been able to overcome the slander and

obtain an academic appointment, a great loss to students and scholarship.

If a writer so much as reports these factual events, the writer is branded an anti-Semite

by the Israel Lobby.

In former times, an anti-Semite meant a person who hated Jews.

But today it means anyone who makes even a mild criticism of Israel�s policy toward

the Palestinians whose lands Israel occupies and is stealing.

Indeed, practically nothing is left of Palestine except the Gaza ghetto that is totally controlled

by Israel.

All movements of supplies and people in and out are controlled by Israel.

Essentially, Gaza is the Warsaw Ghetto.

These are simple irrefutable facts.

Every aware person knows this, but if you say it or write it, you are a �Jew-hater.�

Many Jews have been conditioned to believe that any criticism of Israel, no matter how

justified, is anti-Semitic.

Even Israel�s friend, former US President Jimmy Carter, is reviled by the Israel Lobby

as an anti-Semite.

Carter cautioned Israel against mistreatment of the Palestinians and was instantly branded

a �Jew-hater.� The Jews on the board of the Carter Center resigned.

How do we account for the vast power of the lobby of a foreign power whose entire consequence

in the world depends solely on Washington�s support?

How does a dependent country control, or if control is too strong, so heavily influence,

Washington�s policy in the Middle East, resulting in millions of deaths of Muslims

and the destruction of entire countries, and also overturn the tenure decisions of US Catholic

and state universities?

If the US is a superpower, clearly Israel is the Hyperpower.

Israel owes much of its influence to the billions of US taxpayers� dollars that Washington

gives each year to Israel.

Money is fungible, and it comes back to the US in the form of political campaign contributions

to support Israel�s friends and defeat Israel�s critics.

It come back in support for friendly media, academics, and university administrations.

It influences entertainment and some say court cases, not by paying off judges, but by influencing

the explanation of the case.

And so on.

In other words, US taxpayers� money is used to give a foreign government more control

over the US than US citizens have.

There is a great deal of hostility toward the Zionist government among European populations

and Muslims.

But this hostility does not transfer to all Jews.

People are capable of differentiating the responsible from the powerless.

All Jews are not Israelis and all Israelis are not Zionists.

Some Israelis complain that the Zionist government is squeezing morality out of the Israeli population,

and they pay a price for saying so.

Israelis who organize in protest to the Zionist policies against the Palestinians, such as

Jeff Halper, coordinator of the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions, are branded �self-hating

Jews� by the Zionist government.

Few Americans know that the Israeli government confiscates entire Palestinian villages and

demolishes Palestinians� homes, using specially built equipment by the American corporation,

Caterpillar, and constructs housing for Israelis.

The Israel Lobby will deny this despite the fact that Israeli citizens have formed an

organization that seeks to use law and Israeli courts to prevent it.

Western governments and presstitutes are not interested in what becomes of the dispossessed

Palestinians.

Halper is Jewish, but the Palestinians do not hate him.

He can go to Gaza without any danger from the Muslims.

The only danger he faces is from the Israeli government who arrested him for going to Gaza.

Indeed, distinguished Israelis, such as Gilad Atzmon and Ilan Pappe have left Israel for

safety in Europe.

Both are demonized by the Israel Lobby.

If you care to understand Zionist Israel, read Atzmon�s book, The Wandering Who?

For Palestine, read Pappe�s books.

Think about this more generally.

As Muslims have been under foreign occupation for a very long time, they are aware that

they have no control over �their� governments.

Some of them are aware that Europeans and Americans also have no control over their

governments.

Just as Muslims in Palestine do not hold Halper responsible for Israel�s murderous policies

toward Palestinians, what sense does it make for Muslims to hold hapless Europeans and

Americans responsible for the evil policies of the US and European governments?

If you think about this, you can see why it is suspicious that �Muslim terrorism�

commits acts only against innocents, who have no influence over government policy, and not

against the responsible government officials.

If Muslim terrorists are so sophisticated that they can pull off events such as 9/11

and the Nice truck attack, they are sufficiently sophisticated to understand who their real

enemies are.

They know that the enemy is not Frenchmen enjoying an evening on French streets.

As I have previously observed, the main neoconservatives are well known from their high positions in

the George W. Bush and Obama regimes.

Their responsibility for the years of US invasions, bombings, and destruction of millions of Muslim

peoples is known.

None of the neoconservatives have any protection.

Yet there has never been a terrorist attack against any of them.

Considering that the alleged Muslim terrorists are so inconsiderate of their own lives, they

could easily take out former VP Dick Cheney, who has only minimal protection.

Consider that there have been no Muslim terror attacks on unprotected US Senators and Representatives

and presstitutes who have fervently supported two decades of murderous warfare against Muslims.

Consider that the US and Europe are now full of Muslim refugees from Washington�s wars,

and terrorist events (which are probably false flag events) are rare.

In a real democracy with a real media and real opposition parties, these questions would

be investigated and part of public debate, not dismissed as �conspiracy theory.�

As I reported in a previous column, CIA documents were discovered that show that the CIA invented

the use of �conspiracy theory� to prevent a real investigation into the assassination

of President John F. Kennedy.

To return to the purpose of this missive, which is to thank you for your support, I

agree with the numerous readers who wrote to tell me that they do not waste time reading

comment sections in which the majority of comments are the work of narcisstic idiots

and paid trolls, and in which anonymous commentators slander not only the columnist but also one

another.

Readers advise me to treat the comments as water off the duck�s back.

I did not protest because of thin skin.

As I understand it, many governments, agencies of governments, and private interest groups

and individuals with agendas, such as Monsanto and George Soros, finance trolls to attack

Internet writers who are critical of their agendas.

Other reports say that Google is cooperating with the government�s control over explanations

by making it more difficult to find truth-tellers online.

Other reports say that Twitter and Facebook are censoring what can be posted.

The process of discrediting truth-tellers works as follows: A writer provides an explanation

that differs from the official explanation.

He or she is set upon both by narcissists full of themselves and by trolls.

His or her argument is mischaracterized.

He or she is branded a �conspiracy theorist,� a �Putin dupe� or �Russian agent,�

an �anti-Semite,� an �anti-American,� a �Reagan apologist.� Once these comments

are posted, the troll network spreads them into social media, with the intention of discrediting

the writer and creating suspicion about his or her motives and sanity.

As most people are poorly informed and have difficulty differentiating The Matrix from

The Reality, the trolls succeed in limiting the writer�s audience.

It is not �thin skinned� to object to a process that discredits those who provide

real information when the purpose of the discrediting is to protect the official disinformation

used to control explanations.

Readers continually ask me what can be done to regain control over the government.

My answer is that the people cannot do anything until they understand the situation.

Without good information, they cannot understand the situation.

Narcissists and trolls work to keep people confused about legitimate sources.

If comment sections required real names and real email addresses, comments would be less

damaging to the truth as commentators would be less inclined toward irresponsibility and

malice.

Everywhere in the Western World, and this includes the Asian provinces of the American

Empire, it is close to impossible to acquire accurate information.

The only purpose of information from Washington and from the print and TV media and NPR is

to get the captive populations to accept the officlal explanation that serves the ruling

agenda.

Those who provide real news, such as RT, are attacked as fonts of �fake news.� In other

words, for Washington truth is an enemy.

As George Orwell said, �In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary

act.�

The Saker says that the agenda most in need of our attention is the �anglo-zionist agenda�

of US/Israeli domination.

The overriding fact of our time is that any country or person in the way of US/Israeli

domination is destined for destruction.

That is our reality.

Russia and China have finally caught on that the democratic rhetoric issuing from Washington

is a cloak for the evil that is the operating force of the US government.

Will Russia and China accept the hegemony of this evil or will they not?

It is a very serious matter that Washington has convinced the Russian and Chinese governments

that Washington is preparing a preemptive nuclear strike against them.

This is extremely serious, not something for narcissists and trolls to play with.

For all who ask what to do, the answer is to speak out strongly against Washington for

risking all life by convincing Russia and China that Washington is preparing to nuke

them.

To understand how dire the situation is, ask yourself why you hear no protests against

such provocation of Russia and China from the West�s print and TV media, from the

US Senate, from the House of Representatives, from European political leaders, from hardly

anyone.

The absence of protest tells the Russians and Chinese that the American Empire is OK

with the preemptive attack.

Where is Merkel�s voice?

Where is May�s?

Where is any leader�s voice?

The absence of protest voices tells Russia and China that the die is cast.
